Improve Performance in Windows 10 by Removing Bloatware Apps

Overview: You can uninstall most of the built-in apps - even the ones that don’t normally offer an “Uninstall” option - with a Powershell cmdlet. Note, however, that this trick won’t allow you to remove a few of the most important built-in apps, like Cortana and Microsoft Edge. If you try, you’ll see an error message saying they cannot be removed. 

Notes:  In case you decide you want the bloatware apps back you can install all of them with the following line of PowerShell code: 

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"} 

This command tells Windows to install those default apps again. Give it some time and allow it to finish, even if nothing appears to happen at first.    

Time Estimated to complete this procedure: 3-5 minutes 

Step 1.  Go to app.atera.com > Admin > Scripts > Shared Script Libary: 

 
Step 2. Search for the script named 'Windows 10 Bloatware Apps Removal' (you can use the Script Name box to filter the results):
